Corner Design Photoshop Brushes - Part 1

2007-11-24T05:07:00.000+07:00

I made 3 sets of corner design photoshop brushes. Actually the shapes were designed in half parts that consist alone as photoshop brushes. Make a copy in a new layer and create mirror FX of them by rotating and flipping, so then you can find interesting corner design ;). The result of these photoshop brushes mirror effect could be various, so I suggest you to give a bit of try.

It was inspired by Design Fruits Tasty Tattoos, which are more complicated in shape and design than mine. He he he, I don’t know if you’re going to like these, heck…I’ll accept all your positive and negative appreciation to all of my designs.

The reason I designed each of the brush in single half element is I want these photoshop brushes become easier to be redesigned by you. I always love to see everyone doing some experiment to my photoshop brushes collection…hey, please show them to me ;p

I want to appreciate your design also…

Hope you like my corner design photoshop brush sets this time… :{

Each of brush is categorized as medium in size (942px – 1246px).

I would like to remind you that all of my 'Free Design Box' files are FREE (for personal or commercial use). But after I found that my previous Photoshop brushes set were hijacked by someone else, please read: Legal Usage to employ Graphic Identity's 'Free Design Box' files.

If you like my Photoshop Brushes please give comment before you download them because I will appreciate any feedback from you.

Don't miss out to download my next photoshop brushes series by subscribing to my feed!

NOTE :

I love your feedback, and that’s why these free design box files now has a plain .ABR file to download directly…I also included compressed .ZIP file instead of .RAR. file so you can unzip the smaller size file or extract the file later if you need it. (You must have WinZIP or WinRAR software installed to your computer for that).
Photoshop version 7 (or earlier) users now can also download my PNG files ;)
Some of you probably don't know how to install brush set, and for that reason I have a quick tutorial: How to Install Photoshop Brush Set.
